"During my time at Wayfair, one of the main projects I worked on was building an Out of Stock tracker for the Marketing team. This solved the issue regarding wasted ad spend on promoted products that weren't in stock. Additionally, I worked on an ad tracking project that analyzed key attributes in creator posts to understand what makes a good advertisement in any given funnel.
One of my favorite memories during the co-op program was eating lunch with the other co-ops, as it led to me meeting close friends. I also enjoyed attending the Wayfair-wide social events! Overall, the co-op program helped me gain skills in time management and the ability to adapt to the changing AI tools and tasks."

"During my time at Wayfair, I had the opportunity to revamp the Castlegate value proposition, pull and analyze WBR metrics, help lead the onboarding process for supplies into Castlegate, and more. One of my highlights was going on coffee chats, which was a great way to meet new people and learn about different areas of the business. This experience deepened my understanding of the complexities of running a successful company. Overall, I had an amazing experience and met exceptional people, and I’m grateful I had the opportunity to co-op at Wayfair!"

"During my co-op at Wayfair, I spent a lot of time with Compliance prepping state sales and using tax data for monthly filings. I also worked on building a website to keep our audit information organized and easy to navigate. Beyond the day-to-day work, my biggest takeaway was being able to improve my communication and public speaking skills. I gained the confidence to present, speak up in meetings, and really collaborate with my team. My favorite memory from the program was playing in the co-op ping pong tournament - it was a great way to connect with my cohort! Overall, the co-op program was an incredible experience that helped me grow both professionally and personally."
